And that's the end of the fight! Zayden Ahmad showed his dominance in that final round. Well I reckon that's a shut out for Ahmad, winning every round. Will the judges agree? They are the ones who matter, even if they are often depressingly incompetent. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision. Judge Shirou Masuda scores the fight 30:27 Judge Tatsuya Matsuyama scores the fight 30:27 Judge Yukihiro Shimada scores the fight 30:27
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Zayden Ahmad! Zayden Ahmad seemed lost for words in his post fight interview but he remembered to thank his fans and directed everyone to his website. |
